1. Trevor Blake Marker

Inscription. Trevor Blake was diagnosed with stage 4 high-risk neuroblastoma cancer at age five. For six years, Trevor beat the odds that were stacked against him fighting this dreaded disease. He received numerous treatments and helped pave the way for other children that needed similar treatment. Trevor spearheaded the idea of Trevor's Treasures, a non-profit organization, that raises money and collects toys for other kids suffering from cancer. His selfless motive was to bring "hope and happiness" and "brighten the days" of suffering children and their families. His Mother said it best, "Trevor will forever live in all of us for his courage, selflessness, strength, dignity, and the inspiration he gave to others." Trevor's Treasures will carry on for the children and their families.

Erected by Woodbridge Rotary Club, The Clearbrook Foundation, Tackett's Mill Foundation, and New Dominion Choraliers. (Marker Number 4.)
